I think Nintendo will survive either way honestly...
Anyways putting the hints of the champions together I'm thinking Hoenn takes place between HgSs and B2W2 as Steven called himself champion in HgSs while in B2W2 the guy in black calls Wallace the champ of Hoenn and Steven the former (not counting the fact that the player character would've surpassed Wallace but it's the same case with Cynthia and Lance). In a way Emerald was a strange third version...it's almost as if it took place some years later after RS when it comes the whole who is champ and when...than again Black and White (the originals not the sequels) have the same thing with the whole time thing in Opelucid city.
